Masonic Child Development Center's "Farmers' Market" a Big Success - 8/19/2008

Wallingford, CT, August 19, 2008.....The Preschool class at the Masonic Child Development Center held their sixth annual Farmer's Market recently at the Center, located on the Masonicare campus in Wallingford.

The outdoor market featured a variety of fresh-picked vegetables, grown by the children in the garden they planted and tended throughout the spring and summer.  The sale also included an assortment of delicious baked goods prepared by the children themselves - with a little help from staff and parents.  The preschoolers were taught how to count money, learned what good "customer service" is all about, and how they can work as a team to achieve a goal.

 Lots of  "Grandma's and Grandpa's" from the Masonic Healthcare Center, along with parents and employees, provided support and assistance, helping to make the event a great success.  They were almost "sold out" by the time the market closed.
